Dear all!
We would like to invite you to participate in our self-organized D.I.Y. queer*_feminist super cool festival of awesomeness against Western bias :-) The idea to organize a queer_feminist festival originated among a small group of migrants* from this imaginary place called (South)Eastern Europe, looking for a space where they could engage in a critique of the hegemony of Western queer_feminist concepts and focus on self-representation, empowerment and networking. Since then, people from many different contexts and backgrounds agreed to work together to organize the festival. Our mutual goal is to bring together activists, artists, performers and (other) interested people from various feminist and LGBTIAQQ**- spaces and regions out of (South)Eastern contexts. Literally, we want to create a space for debating and examining representations, differences and imbedded power-relations.

In questo numero monografico dedicato all'ecofemminismo la rivista riprende ed amplia alcuni temi già trattati nei numeri precedenti, in particolare quelli che hanno affrontato le conseguenze ambientali e sociali dello sviluppo economico (si veda, ad esempio, il saggio sulle Grandi dighe in India o il numero speciale dedicato alla Cina), e ricostruisce la riflessione compiuta dalle femministe a partire dagli anni Settanta sul nesso tra oppressione sulle donne e dominio sulla natura, tra patriarcato, pensiero scientifico e sviluppo capitalistico, tra patriarcato e spiritualità.

The 6th edition of Vox Feminae Festival will be held November 20th – 24th in Zagreb, and its working-theoretical part will be dedicated to networking with the aim of establishing a European network of independent women's initiatives and collectives that deal with urban and proactive culture. The Network will focus primarily on the activity of online portals and festivals that deal with women’s work and creativity and gender issues.

We invite you to participate in the founding of the Network during this year's Vox Feminae Festival.
